This charrette focused on the particular challenges and opportunities of sustainable development for Negus Point, a 100-acre city-owned property in Yellowknife. The integrated design teams explored the potential of on-site wastewater treatment and geothermal water-sourced district heat; pedestrian, bike and ski trails in low-lying areas; and protection of the fragile Northern ecosystem in a development that would include various forms of housing to meet the needs of the growing population, with small commerce, community services and research demonstration facilities.
